Miramar Annual Reunion

Duxbury, Massachusetts

September 20, 2001

Alumni Gather at Miramar
by Deacon John Connor (Miramar '53)

        On September 20, 2001 twenty-two Miramarians and several wives attended an annual alumni meeting at the Miramar Retreat Center. Daytime prayer followed early registration, and then members had an opportunity to renew acquaintances and walk the grounds of the retreat center

         A business meeting followed lunch. The following items were voted on during the meeting: First, four members volunteered to be reporters who will gather news items from the membership at large. Information will be edited and compiled for up-coming newsletters. Second, there is interest in setting up some type of trust or gift-giving to help support an SVD endeavor. Jim Welch and two others will draft a paper outlining a vision for this fund. Third, attendees voted on a two-day, overnight gathering for next year. The dates have been set for September 18-19, 2002. Thirteen rooms will be available. More information will be forthcoming in the spring of 2002.

        Those who attended this year's reunion included Fr. Don Skerry and his two brothers Jim and Bill, Jack Keating, Jim McDermott, Frank McCarthy, Joe Green, Jack Slattery, Maurcie and Jane Donovan, Jim Donovan, Joe and Barbara Walsh, Jim Harvey, Henry Pinson, Fr. Joe Buttimer, Ray Fell, Bill Delaney, Richard Daigel, Jim Calanan, John Curran, Jim Welch, Fr. Edmund Fitzgerald, Lenny Uhal, and yours truly, John Connor. My apologies if I missed anyone! All are encouraged to attend next year's reunion and keep the alumni spirit alive.
